A Beginner’s Guide to Using Claude 3.5 Sonnet: Master Internal Techniques in One Day!
Today, Ajiu will talk about how to master Claude 3.5 Sonnet, enabling you to quickly get started with this powerful AI assistant.
In terms of using Claude 3.5 Sonnet, I have summarized a 3+2 model, which includes 3 usage methods and 2 core points.
This model is based on practical experience validated by Ajiu after helping over 200 users get started with Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
Speaking of this, Ajiu can’t help but recall a message from a core member a couple of days ago: “Ajiu, if it weren’t for your guidance, I would have been badly misled by some platforms.”
These platforms claiming to use Claude 3.5 Sonnet actually use some unknown version of the API, wasting a lot of my time and money.
What are the three usage methods?
First: Access directly through the official website.
Second: Use the Poe platform.
Third: Utilize domestic mirror versions.
Let’s first discuss why we should prioritize the official website?
The official channel is always the most stable and reliable choice.
However, speaking of this, Ajiu suddenly remembers an interesting detail.
Last week, while guiding a student using Claude 3.5 Sonnet, he encountered an issue with his account being banned.
This made me realize that using the official website does indeed carry risk of account bans.
To address this, Ajiu specially developed an anti-ban system plan for annual core members, which includes a special login tool and detailed anti-ban guidelines.
This plan has helped hundreds of members maintain stable usage for over a month without any account bans.
The second method is to use the Poe platform.
What many people don’t know is that the Claude 3.5 Sonnet on the Poe platform is officially authorized.
Speaking of this, Ajiu remembers another interesting incident.
A couple of days ago, a student asked me: “Why does the Claude 3.5 Sonnet on Poe feel less user-friendly than the official website?”
The truth is that the version on the Poe platform lacks the latest Artifacts feature.
What is the Artifacts feature?
It is one of the most powerful characteristics of Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
When you ask the AI to generate code or documents, these contents are displayed in a dedicated window in real-time, allowing you to view and modify simultaneously.
Honestly, when I first used this feature, I was truly amazed.
The third method is to use domestic mirror websites.
Here, Ajiu must remind everyone of a real case I encountered.
Last month, a student spent several hundred dollars to buy a membership on a certain platform, claiming to use Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
Initially, the results were indeed good, but after two weeks, he found that the quality of AI responses had dropped sharply.
When he contacted customer service, they said that due to recent official risk control, performance had decreased.
This reminded Ajiu of something I encountered a few days ago.
A friend who does AI development revealed that many platforms will use high-quality APIs during the initial purchase phase and then quietly switch to lower-cost versions once users have adapted.
Why?
Because every API call costs money, lowering the API level can save costs.
Next, let’s discuss the two core points: the first point is to understand the true advantages of Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
It has improved its intellectual reasoning, professional knowledge, and programming capabilities by a full 3 times compared to Claude 3.
The running speed has also doubled.
Speaking of this improvement, Ajiu recalls the scene from a couple of days ago when I conducted an experiment.
I had Claude 3 and Claude 3.5 Sonnet handle a complex data analysis task simultaneously, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet not only completed it twice as fast but also produced an analysis report that was closer to human thinking.
The second point is to master practical skills with Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
What many people don’t know is that its visual recognition capabilities have undergone a qualitative leap.
Last week when I tested it, it could accurately interpret complex data charts and even understand handwritten formulas.
Speaking of this, I recall the experience of helping a PhD student review a thesis a few days ago.
When we uploaded a complex experimental data chart, Claude 3.5 Sonnet not only accurately interpreted the data but also pointed out potential outliers.
Finally, Ajiu will share a practical tip.
Many people don’t know the difference between Claude 3.5 Haiku and Sonnet.
Although Haiku is a lower-spec version, its performance in daily tasks is actually quite good.
Interestingly, the number of tokens they consume is quite similar.
This reminds me of a discovery I made during performance testing last week: when generating a 2000-word article, the token consumption of both was found to differ by less than 5%.
This discovery inspired Ajiu, and I designed a strategy for using Claude 3.5 Sonnet that maximizes token usage for ordinary users in different scenarios.
This strategy has already helped my annual core members save a significant amount of usage costs.
